Categorical quantum-group realization of the A-twisted theory

Fix integers n2n\geq 2 and knk\geq n, set q=eiπ/kq=e^{i\pi/k}, and let C(n,k)\mathcal C^{(n,k)} be the coherent sheaf of dg categories of line operators of Tn,kA\mathcal T_{n,k}^A over PGL(n,C)PGL(n,\mathbb C). Quantum-group TQFT conjecture. There is an equivalence

C(n,k)Db(Uq(sln)-mod),\mathcal C^{(n,k)}\simeq D^b\big(U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_n)\text{-mod}\big),

where the quantum group is the simply connected De Concini–Kac quantum group at an even root of unity, with Frobenius center acting semisimply. More generally, Tn,kA\mathcal T_{n,k}^A should define the stated extended axiomatic TQFT and agree in cohomological degree zero with the CGP TQFT based on UqH(sln)U_q^H(\mathfrak{sl}_n). The paper supplies proofs and computational evidence for special cases, including n=2n=2 at trivial background holonomy, but the general equivalence remains conjectural.
